Marvin Rettenmaier and Faraz Jaka are getting short in each of their matches.
As Rettenmaier and John Aguiar were playing out a slow hand Jaka was betting 55,000 on the river of a board that contained two fives and three spades. Konstantin Puchkov tank-called with the second nut flush, bettering Jaka's trip fives.
Aguiar, meanwhile, raised and then emptied the clip with bets of 8,500, 27,500 and 63,500 on each street of a 
board. The German stayed all the way to the river where he raised the white flag and folded.

"I'm not going to let you beat me, just so you know!" Said Brandon Cantu after he lost a pot Martin Jacobson.

flop. Jacobson continued for 8,000 and called when Cantu check-raised to 22,000.
The board ran out 
and was checked through. Cantu gestured to his opponent to open even though he was supposed to. Cantu said, "You got it," and mucked as he saw Jacobson open 
.

Cantu:
